June 4th, Wednesday. Gig No. 47, Funny Feckers, Kentish Town

This show is a ‘bringer’. A bringer is basically where you have to bring a friend with you to be allowed to do the show. It is now fairly common practice on the open mic circuit. Also in other arenas of showbiz too. How do you think One Direction get to fill Wembley? Fucking 'fans'?? NO. Friends! Exactly. If they didn't have friends no one would book the cunts.

A lovely old friend of mine from back in my early comedy days very kindly offered her support and came along. Before she came to meet me though, in the afternoon, she said she would be going to see the Book Of Mormon. Oh, shit. That’s a really funny show. If she sees that, she'll have, like, expectations and shit. 'Standards'.

I read The Book Of Mormon’s quotes:

"Money can buy you happiness! If you’re in possession of a ticket, you’ve wisely secured a seat in the premier-class cabin of delirium."

“History is made. The new gold standard for Broadway. The Book of Mormon is on its march into legend.”

"The best musical of this century. So impeccably produced on every level...A celebration of the privilege, for just a couple of hours, of living inside that improbable paradise called a musical comedy."

Jesus fucking Christ. This girl is going to be injecting comedy Heroin. Then coming to see me - fucking anus cream. This adds a rather unpleasant flavour to the whole evening. Pressure. I have to live up to The Book of Mormon. (Not the actual Book Of Mormon. That would be impossible. Their rules are sick. Actually, I don’t drink coffee, smoke or drink so there’s that covered. What else? Oh yes, get married and have children young. That’s never gonna happen. Me? Married with children?? Are they FUCKING mental??)

As it turns out the gig was a lot of fun, it had a great atmosphere and the crowd were loving the show. A good gig. Fuck the Book Of Mormon, we all rocked. I have two more blogs to write this weekend to catch up, so I’m cutting this one short. Big thank you to Christina Martin for making the evening loads of fun and providing much appreciated support
